Psalm 18 Part 2
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.39 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Deliverance from despair; Despair deliverance from it First Line: Lord, thou hast seen my soul sincere Lyrics:
Lord, thou hast seen my soul sincere,
Hast made thy truth and love appear;
Before mine eyes I set thy laws,
And thou hast owned my righteous cause.
Since I have learned thy holy ways,
I've walked upright before thy face;
Or if my feet did e'er depart,
'Twas never with a wicked heart.
What sore temptations broke my rest!
What wars and strugglings in my breast!
But through thy grace, that reigns within,
I guard against my darling sin:
That sin which close besets me still,
That works and strives against my will:
When shall thy Spirit's sovereign power
Destroy it, that it rise no more?
[With an impartial hand, the Lord
Deals out to mortals their reward;
The kind and faithful souls shall find
A God as faithful and as kind.
The just and pure shall ever say,
Thou art more pure, more just than they;
And men that love revenge shall know
God hath an arm of vengeance too.]

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.40 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Deliverance from despair; Despair deliverance from it First Line: Just are thy ways, and true thy word Lyrics:
Just are thy ways, and true thy word,
Great Rock of my secure abode:
Who is a God beside the Lord?
Or where's a refuge like our God?
'Tis he that girds me with his might,
Gives me his holy sword to wield,
And while with sin and hell I fight,
Spreads his salvation for my shield.
He lives, and blessed be my Rock!
The God of my salvation lives:
The dark designs of hell are broke;
Sweet is the peace my Father gives.
Before the scoffers of the age
I will exalt my Father's name,
Nor tremble at their mighty rage,
But meet reproach, and bear the shame.
To David and his royal seed
Thy grace for ever shall extend;
Thy love to saints in Christ their Head
Knows not a limit, nor an end.

Psalm 18 Part 1
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.41 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Deliverance from despair; Despair deliverance from it First Line: We love thee, Lord, and we adore Lyrics:
We love thee, Lord, and we adore;
Now is thine arm revealed:
Thou art our strength, our heav'nly tower,
Our bulwark, and our shield.
We fly to our eternal Rock,
And find a sure defence;
His holy name our lips invoke,
And draw salvation thence.
When God, our Leader, shines in arms,
What mortal heart can bear
The thunder of his loud alarms,
The lightning of his spear?
He rides upon the winged wind,
And angels in array
In millions wait to know his mind,
And swift as flames obey.
He speaks, and at his fierce rebuke
Whole armies are dismayed;
His voice, his frown, his angry look,
Strikes all their courage dead.
He forms our generals for the field,
With all their dreadful skill;
Gives them his awful sword to wield,
And makes their hearts of steel.
[He arms our captains to the fight,
(Though there his name's forgot;
He girded Cyrus with his might,
But Cyrus knew him not.)
Oft has the Lord whole nations blessed
For his own church's sake;
The powers that give his people rest,
Shall of his care partake.]

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.42 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Deliverance from despair; Despair deliverance from it First Line: To thine almighty arm we owe Lyrics:
To thine almighty arm we owe
The triumphs of the day;
Thy terrors, Lord, confound the foe,
And melt their strength away.
'Tis by thine aid our troops prevail,
And break united powers,
Or burn their boasted fleets, or scale
The proudest of their towers.
How have we chased them through the field,
And trod them to the ground,
While thy salvation was our shield,
But they no shelter found!
In vain to idol saints they cry,
And perish in their blood
Where is a rock so great, so high,
So powerful as our God?
The Rock of Isr'el ever lives,
His name be ever blest;
'Tis his own arm the vict'ry gives,
And gives his people rest.
On kings that reign as David did,
He pours his blessings down;
Secures their honors to their seed,
And well supports the crown.

Psalm 49 Part 2
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.110 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Despair and hope in death; Hope and despair in death First Line: Ye sons of pride, that hate the just Lyrics:
Ye sons of pride, that hate the just
And trample on the poor,
When death has brought you down to dust,
Your pomp shall rise no more.
The last great day shall change the scene;
When will that hour appear?
When shall the just revive, and reign
O'er all that scorned them here?
God will my naked soul receive,
When sep'rate from the flesh;
And break the prison of the grave,
To raise my bones afresh.
Heav'n is my everlasting home,
Th' inheritance is sure:
Let men of pride their rage resume,
But I'll repine no more.

Psalm 49
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.111 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Despair and hope in death; Hope and despair in death First Line: Why do the proud insult the poor Lyrics:
Why do the proud insult the poor,
And boast the large estates they have?
How vain are riches to secure
Their haughty owners from the grave!
They can't redeem one hour from death,
With all the wealth in which they trust;
Nor give a dying brother breath,
When God commands him down to dust.
There the dark earth and dismal shade
Shall clasp their naked bodies round;
That flesh, so delicately fed,
Lies cold and moulders in the ground.
Like thoughtless sheep the sinner dies,
Laid in the grave for worms to eat:
The saints shall in the morning rise,
And find th' oppressor at their feet.
His honors perish in the dust,
And pomp and beauty, birth and blood:
That glorious day exalts the just
To full dominion o'er the proud.
My Savior shall my life restore,
And raise me from my dark abode;
My flesh and soul shall part no more,
But dwell for ever near my God.

Psalm 130
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.298 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Despair deliverance from it First Line: Out of the deeps of long distress Lyrics:
Out of the deeps of long distress,
The borders of despair,
I sent my cries to seek thy grace,
My groans to move thine ear.
Great God, should thy severer eye,
And thine impartial hand,
Mark and revenge iniquity,
No mortal flesh could stand.
But there are pardons with my God
For crimes of high degree;
Thy Son has bought them with his blood,
To draw us near to thee.
[I wait for thy salvation, Lord,
With strong desires I wait;
My soul, invited by thy word,
Stands watching at thy gate.]
[Just as the guards that keep the night
Long for the morning skies,
Watch the first beams of breaking light,
And meet them with their eyes;
So waits my soul to see thy grace,
And, more intent than they,
Meets the first openings of thy face,
And finds a brighter day.]
[Then in the Lord let Isr'el trust,
Let Isr'el seek his face;
The Lord is good as well as just,
And plenteous is his grace.
There's full redemption at his throne
For sinners long enslaved;
The great Redeemer is his Son,
And Isr'el shall be saved.]

Psalm 130
Thee will I love, O Lord, my strength
Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #P.XVIII.I (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Deliverance from Despair Lyrics: 1 Thee will I love, O Lord, my strength,
My rock, my tow'r, my high defence;
Thy mighty arm shall be my trust,
For I have found salvation thence.
2 Death, and the terrors of the grave,
Stood round me with their dismal shade;
While floods of high temptations rose,
And made my sinking soul afraid.
3 I saw the op'ning gates of hell,
With endless pains and sorrows there,
(Which none but they that feel can tell)
While I was hurry'd to despair.
4 In my distress I call'd my God,
When I could scarce believe him mine:
He bow'd his ear to my complaint;
And prov'd his saving grace divine.
5 [With speed he flew to my relief,
As on a cherub’s wing he rode;
Awful, and bright as lightning, shone
The face of my deliv'rer, God.
6 Temptations fled at his rebuke,
The blast of his Almighty breath;
He sent salvation from on high,
And drew me from the deeps of death.]
7 Great were my fears, my foes were great,
Much was their strength, and more their rage;
But Christ, my Lord, is conqu'ror still,
In all the wars the proud can wage.
8 My song for ever shall record
That terrible, that joyful hour;
And give the glory to the Lord
Due to His mercy and his pow'r. Scripture: Psalm 18:1-8 Languages: English
Thee will I love, O Lord, my strength
I hate the Tempter and his Charms
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.CLVI (1766) Topics: Despair and Presumption Lyrics: 1 I hate the Tempter and his Charms,
I hate his flatt'ring Breath;
The Serpent takes a Thousand Forms
To cheat our Souls to Death.
2 He feeds our Hopes with airy Dreams,
Or kills with slavish Fear;
And holds us still in wide Extremes,
Presumption, or Despair.
3 Now he persuades, how easy 'tis
To walk the Road to Heav'n;
Anon he swells our Sins, and cries,
They cannot be forgiv'n.
[4 He bids young Sinners, Yet forbear
To think of God or Death;
For Prayer and Devotion are
But melancholy Breath.
5 He tells the Aged, They must die,
And 'tis too late to pray;
In vain for Mercy now they cry,
"For they have lost their Day.]
6 Thus he supports his cruel Throne
By Mischief and Deceit;
And drags the Sons of Adam down
To Darkness and the Pit.
7 Almighty God, cut short his Pow'r,
Let him in Darkness dwell;
And, that he vex the Earth no more,
Confine him down to Hell. Languages: English

How long, O Lord, will you forget
Author: Barbara Woollett (b. 1937) Hymnal: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) #7 (2005) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Topics: Despair and Trouble Lyrics: 1 How long, O Lord, will you forget
an answer to my prayer?
No tokens of your love I see,
your face is turned away from me;
I wrestle with despair.
2 How long, O Lord, will you forsake
and leave me in this way?
When will you come to my relief?
My heart is overwhelmed with grief,
by evil night and day.
3 How long, O Lord? But you forgive
with mercy from above.
I find that all your ways are just,
I learn to praise you and to trust
in your unfailing love. Scripture: Psalm 13 Languages: English Tune Title: [How long, O Lord, will you forget?
How long, O Lord, will you forget
